Place the ArborFlow on the floor or low tabletop in a location where air can circulate freely in, out, and around (at least 4” / 10cm from any other object). Place in an upright position on a firm surface. Plug in the ArborFlow. The ArborFlow has four modes of operation: A) 100% fan speed, ambient lighting on; B) 50% fan speed, ambient lighting on; C) 50% fan speed, lighting off, for use during sleep; and D) off. A single touch on the metal touch switch on the power cord will advance the control to the next mode. The controller adjusts the fan speed gradually, so please allow a second or two between each touch. The H13 HEPA air filter with activated carbon lining is designed to effectively remove PM3 (particulate matter smaller than 3.0 microns), dust, pollen, dander, molder, mites, bacteria, smoke, chemicals, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Do not place the ArborFlow near sources of heat (e.g. radiators, fireplaces, or ovens) or near wet or humid areas (e.g. bathrooms) where it may contact water.
The ArborFlow air purifier uses a powerful H13 HEPA filter to trap up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 microns. This includes common irritants like pollen, dust, pet dander, and mold spores, as well as fine particulate matter (PM3) that can affect long-term respiratory health. The filter also captures dust mites and many airborne bacteria, making it an ideal choice for allergy sufferers, families with pets, and anyone who wants cleaner air indoors.
In addition to allergens, the H13 filter works alongside activated carbon inner lining to help reduce smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), household chemicals, and lingering cooking odors. Whether you're sensitive to smells, concerned about indoor air pollution, or simply want a fresher living space, the ArborFlow filtration system is built to handle it all, so you can breathe easier, every day.
Why H13? There is ongoing discussion in the air purification field about which filter rating is ideal. Ultra-fine filters like H14 or ULPA offer tight particle capture, but with a disadvantage of reduced airflow and require more powerful (thus noisier) fans to be equally effective in home settings. Lower-rated filters allow better airflow but miss finer particles. H13 strikes the perfect balance for home use, capturing the vast majority of harmful pollutants without sacrificing performance, coverage area, or quiet operation. It is an optimal choice for reliable, everyday clean air.
Inspired by the design of our award-winning light therapy lamps, ArborFlow is equipped with an internal array of white and yellow LEDs, casting a gentle, calming glow. While the light does not directly impact the air filtration process, it accentuates the forward aesthetic design and provides an ambient mood enhancement. Cycling the switch to the sleep/night mode allows for reduced fan noise and turns off the LEDs. Depending on frequency of use, the internal H13 HEPA filter should be changed between every 6-12 months for optimum performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Replacing the H13 HEPA air filter: Unplug and gently flip the ArborFlow upside down onto a soft, padded surface (e.g. a towel placed on the floor). Remove the screws securing the bottom panel with a standard Phillips screwdriver. Remove the bottom panel and set aside with the screws. Remove the cylindrical air filter by gently pulling upwards. Insert a new air filter, taking care to fit it around the circular inner metal flange. Bending of the filter membrane during insertion is fine, although the inner ring should retain a circular shape when installed. The white outer pleats can be pushed into place. Replace the bottom panel, again taking care to fit the circular metal flange into the center of the filter. Gently screw in all the screws securing the bottom panel without overtightening.
Touch switch operation: The capacitive touch switch detects the touch of a conductive object, such as a finger. It has no moving parts, reducing wear and tear, and is more durable compared to mechanical switches. It should be placed on an inert surface (e.g. tabletop or floor), not in the palm of the hand. A simple touch with one finger will cycle the ArborFlow through its operating modes.
